the irish like making up bullshit

[john taylor]

Both England and France used the bagpipe in processions, church services, and festivities. The first pictorial representation of the native Irish mouth blown pipe is in 1578 and it shows a two-drone pipe much like both the English and French instruments.

[john taylor]

It does indeed seem that the old English "war pipe" (which the Irish seem to have copied) had a very long flat pitched chanter, which produced a louder sound. There was no persecution of the instrument in Ireland and it was never proscribed in Scotland except by the Presbyterian Kirk in the Highlands. In the Lowlands town, laws proscribed it, during plague.

[john taylor]

By the way, no one in Ireland or Scotland ever referred to the mouth blown bagpipe (the Piob Mor) as a "war pipe". It was sixteenth and seventeenth century English writers who first used the expression and with such continued persistence as to lead one to speculate that the instrument possibly was known in England, in earlier times, as a war pipe.

even the uilleaan pipes aren't irish. they were originally called union pipes and were british. tin whistle/british. kilt/british

[john taylor]

the roman's introduced the bagpipes to europe .. the irish invented the bagpipe LOL

[john taylor]

The earliest Irish mention of the bagpipe is in 1206, approximately thirty years after the Anglo-Norman invasion. Obviously the instrument began to catch on in Ireland but as to whether it was the English or French variant, is anyone's guess. It certainly was not the Scottish Great Highland pipe, the Piob Mor, because that instrument had yet to work it's way up from England

[PointlessFunForAll]

You'll be surprised that is was actually the Irish who INVENTED bagpipes, but it became Scottish tradition and they built on it.
